My father was born in Beijing. Now he is 46 years old. And he was an engineer. My father’s family was very poor when he was child. It was a big family because it was make up of five girls and a boy. That boy was my father, and he always ate less because only he was the only boy. And my grandmother told me my father often borrowed books from neighbour or he found newspaper in a rubbish bin. It was a difficult life.
When I was a child, my father always went out. I always asked my mother where my father was going to, my mother gave me the same answer every time, she said he made money for you. At that time, I really did not understand my mother what she said because my family was not poor and not rich. I just thought that was joke.
When I decided I would go to New Zealand for university, my father spent a lot of time on me. And he told me he made money in order to for me to have a good future. Until I came here, I knew it was very difficult to make money. You had to do something that you did not want to do for your boss, you had to solve some problems between the workmates and yourself.
My father is a very facetious person. He spends a lot of time to read all kinds of books. He usually tells me about many different cultures or interesting things from books. I want to be a man like my father.
